EVENT SCHEDULING
Event scheduling specifies an exact date and time when a page will play. This is often used in
conjunction with triggering a playback device such as a DVD or VHS player, to play back a recording
at a specific time. Event pages will not play as part of the normal page rotation.
To make a range an event, simply check the Event box.
The start date, start time, and dwell time fields can easily be adjusted as shown above. In this
example, the page will play for 9 seconds at midnight on August 29, 2011.
To make the page play more than once, select Repeat and more options will become available.
In this example, the page will play between 6 AM and 6 PM on weekdays between 8/29 and
9/02/2011. It will be on-screen for 9 seconds every hour on the hour between those times. The
interval at which the page repeats can be changed by clicking on the text that says Repeat every
1 hours.
Select an interval first (seconds, minutes, hours, days), and then a number.
» NOTE: A page scheduled as an event will override any page currently playing. Be
careful when scheduling repeating events and make sure you don’t have two events
that will repeat at the same time. Only one of them will play and there is no way to
know which page will play.
